My own view, which is at the extreme end of the spectrum I know, and therefore not (yet) formal policy in every case, is that we ought to have almost no fair use, outside of a very narrow class of images that are of unique historical importance.

The cover of an album is the best and only sensible illustration of an article about that album, for example. A screenshot from a movie is often also the best and only sensible illustration. Some pictures (Elian Gonzales and the Border Patrol for example) are historically critical and irreplacable and worth fighting a fair use battle for if necessary. But an ordinary photo of a random celebrity? \'\'\'We are much better off to have no photo than to have a fair use or even \"wikipedia only\" photo.\'\'\'--Jimbo Wales 21:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Entiendo lo que me basta
y solamente no entiendo
cómo se sufre a sí mismo
un ignorante soberbio.

De cuantas cosas me cansan
fácilmente me defiendo;
pero no puedo guardarme
de los peligros de un necio.

El dirá que yo lo soy,
pero con falso argumento,
que humildad y necedad
no caben en un sujeto.

-- Lope de Vega
